Even uniform settlement can result in trouble, however. First, a building sitting in a depression has a poor appearance. The access might be impaired, necessiting the construction of ramps down into the building from the surrounding levels, as in the case of the National Palace of Fine Arts. 1, record 1, English, - uniform%20settlement

Cependant, un tassement, même uniforme, peut occasionner des perturbations. Tout d’abord, une construction reposant sur une zone ayant tassé présente un aspect désagréable : le seuil doit être abaissé, et il est quelquefois nécessaire de construire des rampes d’accès à partir des terre-pleins avoisinants situés plus haut [...] 1, record 1, French, - tassement%20uniforme

[...] dès 1896 des forages obliques étaient réalisés en Californie à partir de jetées de bois afin d’atteindre les extensions du champ de Summerland situées sous l’Océan Pacifique. 6, record 2, French, - trou%20inclin%C3%A9

Si l'on forait un trou perpendiculaire au front de taille d’une excavation réalisée dans une masse rocheuse uniforme [...] et si l'on faisait exploser une charge dans ce trou, il n’ en résulterait presqu'aucun arrachement de roche, car toute la force de l'explosion serait orientée dans l'expulsion de la bourre et dans un certain morcellement et tassement de la roche autour du trou. Si, par contre, le trou foré est incliné par rapport au plan de taille [...], la roche, comprise entre le trou et la paroi, sera plus facilement soumise à l'arrachement du massif que dans le cas précédent, car dans cette direction la résistance de la roche à l'arrachement sera moins grande que dans les autres. 7, record 2, French, - trou%20inclin%C3%A9
